Dm
Leaving all behind
The award is to be found

Like a scene from a dream
A Dm
And a vision of heavenly might

In the cradle of this war, I know
And that's for sure

When the battle's done:
A Dm
There can be only one

I am marching against evil
A Dm
May the Lord be on our side
[Chorus]

Ready to fight; fire at will

People will cry at Gettysburg

Dm
This inferno turned me blind
There was fire and smoke all around
A#
Dead bodies and blood everywhere
A Dm
In this unholy ground
Dm
Now the future is no more
We're all lost to this vicious whore
A#
When the victory's won
A Dm
I'm a fatherless son
Dm C F
We went out to fight for glory
A Dm
Only one of us came home
[Chorus]

Ready to fight; fire at will
Dm A Dm
We shall die in Gettysburg

Ready to fight; fire at will

Dm C
I sit here on my porch
F
As an old and lonely man
A
Sometimes I recall
Dm
When terror struck the land
C
Was it right to go to arms
F
To defend the freedom rights
A Dm
I am sure or else I've lived upon a lie
[Chorus]
